Victoria Beckham's feet disappear at Harrods dVb launch

All eyes were on Victoria Beckham last Thursday at the official launch of her dVb denim range at Harrods. The Spice Girl made sure she put in an appearance at the launch, following rumours that her line would soon be dropped by stores in the US. After she was recently criticised by Kitson owner Fraser Ross, Beckham went on Radio 1 to defend her so-called lack of promotional work.

"With that particular store there probably was some truth in it. I'd been on tour with the Spice Girls and at the end of the day you can't do everything. I work bloody hard is what I do, you know I really do. And I'm bringing up three children," she said.

Despite later retracting his comments, Ross told US news network Fox News last week that her Harrods appearance was a "slap in the face."

"Victoria asked me to issue a statement saying that they were best-sellers and flying off the shelves, but I said I would not lie like that, but it looks like they've done it anyway," he added. "Right now I have no choice but to pull her line off the floor - I'm lucky to sell 18 pairs of dVb jeans a month, whereas other brands at her price point I sell at least 200."

Victoria fronted up to the launch in a corset top and a pair of crisp dVb flared jeans which made her feet disappear completely. Nevertheless, she declared that the '70s skinny flare jeans are the must-have style for this season.

"Right now, my dVb signature style is definitely the '70s skinny flare. People with real style are wearing dVb because they truly like the style, fit and quality and that is a great compliment."

Yes, but is anyone actually is buying her jeans?

That would be a big NO. I don't know anybody who would bother purchasing them. For one thing, seriously? Who wants to purchase jeans from an ex spice girl who's basically a huge joke? If you paid attention to the reaction of her ridiculous campaign for Marc Jacobs, of course people aren't going to buy them. She'd be laughed out of a store. Perhaps some die-hard gay men would like her and care, but not many others. Everybody I know just laughed at her MJ ads, and not in a good way. Some people even criticized his choice to put her in the campaign, and were happy when she was out and MIA was in. I for one, was thankful I no longer had to see her ads.

For 200 bux a pop plus some, I'll stick with my Hudsons, 7 for all mankind, citizens of humanity, etc. If you're going to pay the money, you want assurance they'll hold up and be a good jean. Who really knows about jeans by some woman who, frankly, has a shite fashion sense?

I personally think that Victoria has an extremly good fashion sense and it's about time she has recognised this and has done something about it she is MUCH better at fashion than singing.
I would buy a pair but they are out of my price range hopefully i can save up and buy them before my birthday.

She is certainly better at fashion than singing BUT as she could not sing at all that's hardly a recommendation is it? Her jeans look silly and she even sillier in them. She is desperate to be photographed and famous for something and she is actually - DESPERATION -

If she got a proper model to model them people might take her seriously. She is NOT a model, always does this same awful pose that went out in the 50s. and her face is not pretty just hairy.. Lets face it if you were hiring a model it wouldnt be her now would it? And the jeans are overpriced rubbish...they are not shifting.

Yep! Overpriced crap and heading straight for the nearest bargain bin! She can't have much respect, loyalty, affection and gratitude towards her ever dwindling fanbase by charging them that much! Greedy and shameless cow!

Yes despite the credit crunch, sub-prime crisis and worldwide economic downturn I was more than willing to line this very greedy persons already bulging pockets by paying nearly £350.00 for a single pair of DVB jeans! Thank God my psychiatrist stepped in at the very last moment and stopped me!

'Fraid so Posh..No one is interested in your overpriced crap and contrary to your overworked PR people they are not flying off the shelves but dive bombing into the bargain bin - good. It's great to know people are not as stupid as you seem to think they are.....

She does that with all her trousers 'cos she is a short a** and she thinks it makes her look like she is taller. Her legs are actually quite short. That is why she does not wear flats. Ans as for her comment people with real style are wearing her flares. That's three is it? - wow what a trend!
She looks like she is still in Goff's Oak or Basildon. You can take the girl out of the provincial but etc. etc....

£350.00! £350.00 for a single pair of jeans? Unbelievable! Will they offer a 10% discount to the clinically insane?

Posted by: Sanity Clause | May 19, 2008 3:31 PM

Eh...I only ever saw one pair in my life here in the States (and it was discounted!). I'd rather wear Hudson jeans.

I saw loads in Selfridges and not one person was looking when all the other brands had queues (on a Saturday) Oh dear victoria perhaps people have sussed you out.

Posted by: Whoops | May 19, 2008 6:14 PM

Without high heels she is shorty and without make up hairy(well she's always that) and spotty...

Posted by: Kate | May 19, 2008 7:12 PM

Posh's fashion sense is awsome....i luv her line of jeans ,even though they are a bit pricey,,,,but i wud still go out and buy any new one that comes out!i luv her perfumes too.VB is totally my idol so no one dare saya thing against her!

Posted by: Fog | May 20, 2008 6:52 PM

Fog if you think her fashion sense is awesome you need sum edukashun. Her jeans are utter crap. Even if they were £100 they would still be crap. Look at all the other pricey makes - the difference is obvious. Her perfume too! Cheap stuff selling for far too much money.

Posted by: HAG | May 21, 2008 2:03 PM

I really like that close-up shot of her face because she looks so much softer than she normally does. Just kicking up the corners of your lips really makes a big difference and if what she said is true - that her pout is because that's the way her face falls - then I totally understand because that's my problem, too.

Posted by: Jessie | May 21, 2008 8:10 PM

I like those Jeans, except that they cover her feet. It's a shame, cos she has cute feet and sh should show off thoe sexy toes of hers!
